They are saying that the war in Afghanistan is going to last longer than the Vietnam Conflict (15) years, and that in the end we will leave in defeat? The last foreign government to be there was Russia. They were next door neighbors to Afghanistan. At the the height of their conflict, according to Wikipedia, they had 110,000 troops. They still could not win it! They were there for around 10 years.
We are not even close to that with 45,000 troops. They are projecting doubling that to 70,000 troops. Still, we are not close to what the Russians sent!
We are not close to that in geographical sense either. This war is going to cost us much more than Iraq could even think of! Unlike vietnam or Korea we have no seaports close by to land things by ships. Everything will have to arrive by air. This is going to be a disaster!
